Sweet!

The volunteer houses are located in a family compound. Next to my house there is a family of four; parents with a daughter who is high school junior and a son who is a senior. We had about an hour of conversation last night. They were helping me with my Thai and I them with their English. There are at least two grandmas in the compound one of whom is very anxious to learn English. It is very rewarding to have this continuing relationship with Thai people.

Al,
Thanks for blogging your experiences and how you are adapting and learning. Are the Olympics on the radar screen of anyone close?

As far as 5th graders, it's interesting this is not isolated. I find it the same in the US. Generally, 5th graders still listen and respect. I think it is the next year their hormones begin the crazy dance. Blessings. Deb Hutterer
